Since the first Contender pistol was made in 1967, it has been the choice of serious handgun hunters throughout the world. The reputation this pistol has achieved in terms of its versatility, minute of angle accuracy and proven long-range performance is unquestioned. The Contender's interchangeable barrel system allows shooters to easily adapt their firearm to a variety of different calibers. In addition, the Contender frame has two firing pins, and a selector on the exposed hammer, to allow the shooter to choose between rimfire or centerfire firing pins, or to select a safety position from which neither firing pin can strike a primer. This single-shot handgun is calibered for .45 Long Colt ammunition and features adjustable sights and a Pachmayr rubber grip with the original wooden forearm. Its wood, metal, and bore are all in very good condition.
